Hey guys!Today I want to talk to you about an interesting topic - what is the purpose of the small holes in the edge of the abalone shell?Don't you think this question is a bit strange?Don't worry, let me unravel the mystery!
First, let's learn about the amazing creature of abalone. Abalone is a marine shellfish that has a very hard shell and a lot of neatly raised holes around the edges. These holes are not ordinary decorations, they have a very important function!
These small orifices are the breathing holes that abalone come with and are also known as orifices. They are like the nose of an abalone, allowing the abalone to breathe in fresh air. As the water flows through the abalone's body, it expells exhaust gases through these small holes while inhaling fresh oxygen. In this way, the abalone can live more comfortably underwater.
In addition to the role of respiration, these small holes have other uses. They are also a conduit for the exchange of substances between the abalone and the outside world. When abalone needs to excrete waste, it can excrete wastewater directly out of the body through these small holes. In this way, the abalone can keep its body clean and avoid bacteria and other harmful substances.
Did you know?The shell of abalone is one of the most precious Chinese medicinal materials and is widely used in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. We can extract the active ingredients in abalone shells for various diseases.
So, the next time you see small holes in the edges of abalone shells, think about what they're used for. They are not just a decoration, but also an important guarantee for the survival of abalone and our health. Let's cherish all that nature has given us!
